Out of The Ashes
After a battery fire destroyed its MRF in York, Pennsylvania, Penn Waste pulled off a rebuild in just under a year and is spreading the message of fire prevention and safety. Most recyclers agree that fire prevention and safety are among the biggest issues facing the...
A More Powerful Combination
Automate your MRF's QC line by pairing AI with air jets for a high-volume sorting solution. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have been getting a lot of attention. AI sensors combined with robotic arms were introduced to material recovery...
Keys to Building a Successful MRF: Before, During, After
When building a MRF, the goal is to end up with a facility that operates efficiently, requires minimal repairs and downtime, and flexibility to accommodate future equipment upgrades and modifications. Actively seeking out and incorporating practices from experts who focus on design, building, and managing MRFs will elevate the final product of your new, successful facility.
Dynamic Pairings
Sorting success lies in pairing the right sensor technologies with the right method of extraction. At MSS Inc., we know the challenges presented by sorting recyclables at material recovery facilities (MRFs) can be approached in many ways. For 48 years, we have...
Optical sorting challenges and opportunities
Explore optical sorting solutions for the final stages of material separation in a MRF.Pain points in a MRF can cause great financial and logistical strain. By identifying those challenges operators are better equipped to seek the right solution for their needs. The...
Webinar: Robots, Optics, Air Jets, AI … oh my!
A guide to selecting the best sensor sorting method for your MRFHiring and retaining labor has long been a challenge for MRF operators. Because of this, smart sensor and extraction technologies are now the backbone for primary sorting as well as quality control...
Webinar: How to Optimize OCC Recovery
Cardboard constitutes the bulk of the household recycling stream, both in volume and in value. The differing mechanical properties of carboard change the flow of material within a MRF and therefore operational and capital decisions. Find out how to deal with this...
Curbing single-stream contamination of OCC at the MRF
Over the last few years, MRFs have seen a rise in OCC and fiber contamination. This trend has worsened since the start of the pandemic in 2020 with an influx of OCC and mixed paper. MRF operators struggle with contaminated streams resulting in higher sorting costs....
